Highlights of Senator Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor (in 2013 I believe) decrying the Democrats' just-implemented "nuclear option" for judicial nominees. My transcript:
"Once again, Senate Democrats are threatening to break the Rules of the Senate, break the Rules of the Senate, in order to change the Rules of the Senate. And over what? Over what? Over a court that doesn't even have enough work to do? ... The majority leader promised, he promised, over and over again, that he wouldn't break the rules of the Senate in order to change them. ... If you want to play games, set yet another precedent that you'll no doubt come to regret, I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle: You'll regret this, and you may regret it a lot sooner than you think."
(Yes I did indeed choose "humor" as the Topic.)
Schadenfreude is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another.

The Rats didn’t think they would be hoisted by their own petard.
And the Republicans will regret it if he doesn’t abolish the filibuster rule and go to majority vote to pass legislation because the Democrats will do that as soon as they regain power.
I hope Mitch also doesn’t forget him & his wife being accosted on their driveway by leftists yesterday.
I wonder if Harry Reid is getting his ass kicked by exercise equipment.
McConnell is 90% worthless. He picked a good 10% not to be worthless on.
Honestly though, I think they’ll only really regret it when the court is 9-0 against them, when all the wretched precedents of the last 50 years are annulled, when abortion and gay marriage are rescinded, when Hollywood is decent, when the border is secure, when American families are having more children than replacement levels, and when children pray in public schools again.
This weekend Mitch needs to crack a beer, settle into his recliner, and order up Death Wish, the Death Wish remake, Mad Max, and Conan The Barbarian.
“Mitch! What is best in life?”
I get the feeling that Elaine could kick Mitch’s ass any day of the week. But I hope he grows a spine on this SCOTUS nomination.
Demo_rats start regretting in 3...2...1...

Flashback: Obama to GOP: ‘Win an Election’ to Change Policy
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-challenges-gop-win-election-policies/story?id=20593955
“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election,” Obama said. “Push to change it.”
Thanks, Barry. Couldn’t have done it without you .
I don’t read those sites, so I’ll take your word for it! But you made a very good point: they’re totally freaked out, but nothing has even happened yet.
So in other words, they knew what their bad precedent could lead to, just as everybody knew that Obama’s governing through executive orders could one day be turned against him. And Trump may do that yet. I hope he does.
That Mitch, what a card. Doesn’t he know that Obama’s election ushered in an era of a permanent Democrat majority? Nothing could go wrong by doing this, right?

I always wondered, when Obama was pulling all of his extralegal shenanigans, why the dems didn’t have the sense to realize that eventually all of this precedent that they were setting might be used by the other side.
They thought they were comfortably in power forever. Stupid thought.
“You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.”
Talking to Dirty Harry Reid...a complete horse’s ass. Just like
Tom Dashelle before him, and today’s Schmuck Schumer. Losers all.
